Redditors who have experienced living with a narcissist, what was your experience like?
Living with a narcissist can be an incredibly challenging experience. Many people often feel drained emotionally and mentally. They may encounter constant manipulation, gaslighting, and a lack of empathy, which can make them question their own perceptions and feelings.
Survivors often describe feeling isolated, as narcissists can isolate their partners from friends and family to maintain control. This can lead to a sense of loneliness, as it may be difficult to find support or share experiences.
Additionally, living with a narcissist can create an unstable environment, characterized by extreme highs and lows. Moments of affection and charm can quickly turn into criticism or negativity, making it hard to maintain a sense of stability.
However, many people who have escaped such situations speak about the importance of reclaiming their identity and establishing boundaries. Seeking therapy or supportive communities can also be vital in healing from the trauma of living with a narcissist and rebuilding one’s sense of self.
It’s important to remember that while the experience can be very painful, there is hope and recovery is possible with time and support.
